For now it‘s just me dumping in quotes that I‘ve gathered on my computer. If the site takes traction as it is, I‘m planning to help indie writers feature quotes from their books, and a link back to their books, so people can purchase them. I also have more ideas, but I‘ll leave them for further into the future.
If you do decide you want to share indie authors' quotes, let me know! I'm a copy editor for indie authors (and several publishers), and I'm really entrenched in those communities (as both an indie author and reader myself).
I assume most of the authors would not be specifically writing on philosophical and spiritual topics. That makes me think that I probably need to adjust the brand positioning for Zenpen to a more general, less zen-like niche. That way, I can open up the brand to all types of indie authors, as long as the quotes are deep and meaningful.
If this is a success, and I get lots of visits to the website, it should be valuable for authors to get exposure, and valuable for me, if I get royalties from the book sales because the links from the quotes point out to the source that can be purchased.

I'd be happy to help if I can! 😄
Oh, that would be lovely.
